How does a Silent Auction work?

Throughout the evening, there will be a designated area within the room that will have a couple tables with names and descriptions of silent auction items.

1. Submit a bid on the Bid Sheet next to each item that you're interested in.
2. Check back from time-to-time throughout the evening to see if you still have the highest bids. If not, submit a higher bid to stay in the game!
3. At the end of the evening whoever has the highest bid to each item wins. It's that simple!

Taken from the 9:30 Club Website: "World Leaders, powerful CEOs, and assorted other fat cats could learn myriad lessons from Chromeo, but the number one tip that Dave 1 and P-Thugg have is this: Know thyself, know thy vibe, and stay thy course.

The mission, the package, the vision - it's been a straight shot of pure intentionality from the jump. These Chromoeo dudes? They have the whole being-these-Chromeo-dudes thing totally wired."
